Hi and Thanks! and Tell me what's going on!

Hello Cyclists!

Just wanted to start a new thread so I wouldn't take away from Brandi's Thread. I have missed this place so much. I miss the cycle talk here.

I so appreciate the welcome backs I've gotten from OakLeaf, lph, crazycanuck, emily in nc, salsabike and lots of other private messages too.

It's been barely over a year since the divorce and lots has gone on with selling the joint house and buying a new house, working 4 jobs and trying to keep my head on straight. My cycling time has gone WAY down, but I'm trying to ride as much as possible.

Anyhoo, I love y'all and will be visiting in more often.

I would love to hear some updates!

Yay silver! Welcome back. We missed you. Glad to hear you're still on the bike!

Hi Ho Silver and welcome back!

Wow - sorry to hear about the divorce, but glad you managed to find time to come back and say hi to us!

If it's any consolation, I was in a similar boat - left horribly in debt after a divorce, working what felt like 7 jobs (was only 5 jobs) and struggling. But, after just a few years of hard work, everything turned around.

It does get better!

Welcome back Silver - glad to see you've come back. Now, tell us if you've been keeping upon on riding or not? No judgments, just wondering. You were getting so strong!

I don't have much to add, but just wanted to say..... Welcome back! It's good to see you posting again :)

Welcome back!!! :)

Welcome back indeed! It's great to see you here again. What's happened? Uh... I dunno. Usual chit-chat? I'm not good at picking up history :D Hang around and see!

I've been wondering where you went... Welcome back!

Welcome back Silver. Glad you're finding some bike time. :)

Short version of my last year: two marathons, one bike crash, full recovery, couple of scars, one 5K PR, one TOSRV, and now it's too wet to do anything in the garden. :cool: What about you?

Oh Yes! Perfect! But...but....what marathons? How's the bike?

Here's Silver's short Summary

RaIN 2011, overheated, took all day,
moved from a 3400 sq. ft. house to a 1300 sq. ft. house,
still teach spin class 3 times week,
still coach beginners triathlon class 12 weeks in summer,
trying to get in a few miles on the bike, but not strong at all struggling with the weather and lack of training time,
still working at Chiropractor's office, work part time at a running shoe store, (Teach spin at gym, coach tri at Y) = 4 jobs. Teaching some LCI cycling classes, too.
No jewelry making: my workbench was sold with the house and lost my website in the divorce.
